Here's hoping he stands by his word, and others follow.

Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockman threatened Monday afternoon that
he would file articles of impeachment against President Barack Obama if
he institutes gun control measures with an executive order.Stockman warned that such executive orders would be
“unconstitutional” and “infringe on our constitutionally-protected right
to keep and bear arms.”

“I will seek to thwart this action by any means necessary, including
but not limited to eliminating funding for implementation, defunding the
White House, and even filing articles of impeachment,” Stockman said in
a statement.At his press conference Monday, Obama floated the possibility of using executive action to enact policies aimed at reducing gun violence.The freshman congressman, who served one term in Congress in the
mid-1990s, further labeled the possibility “an existential threat to
this nation” because, he said, the purpose of the Second Amendment is to
allow the people to protect themselves from tyranny.

“Any proposal to abuse executive power and infringe upon gun rights
must be repelled with the stiffest legislative force possible,” he
added. “Under no circumstances whatsoever may the government take any
action that disarms any peaceable person — much less without due process
through an executive declaration without a vote of Congress or a ruling
of a court.”He concluded by claiming that an executive order would be not just
“not just an attack on the Constitution,” but also an “attack on
Americans.”“If the president is allowed to suspend constitutional rights on his
own personal whims, our free republic has effectively ceased to exist,”
he said.

I hope he stands by this.

And I hope a bunch more join him.

I don't think it will go through, but the DEMOCRATS need to be shown and told that the American People have been pushed FAR ENOUGH! And the very idea that these pusillanimous dick weeds would try to go after the guns that are outlined in our Bill of Rights, is both atrocious and appalling. It's the last thing Dictators / Presidents for Life do just before they begin to round up 'dissidents' and have them sent to 're-education' camps.

The sound of the "I" word may make a lot of us feel good, especially since we believe it is so richly deserved. But, with the majority of the government in the hands of the left, does anyone actually think this move will go anywhere. Just watch what the MSM does to anyone even uttering the word.
